Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached home presents a solid investment opportunity situated on a generous plot within the desirable Birds Estate in Kingswood. The property boasts a welcoming entrance hallway with a convenient W/C that leads into a modern kitchen equipped with ample storage. The dining area is bright and inviting, complemented by a lounge featuring double patio doors that open up to the expansive garden, ensuring plenty of natural light fills the living space. Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, alongside a well-sized third bedroom and a family bathroom furnished with both shower and bath facilities. While the home is currently in good decorative order with full double glazing and gas central heating, potential buyers may consider further enhancements or updates. The external aspects of the property are equally appealing, featuring an attractive facade, driveway, garage, and front lawn that could be optimized for additional parking. The substantial rear garden offers excellent scope for future extensions or outbuildings (subject to planning permission), presenting an ideal canvas for those looking to expand their family living space. Located in a family-friendly neighbourhood, this home provides easy access to Basildon town centre’s range of amenities, nearby schools, parks, and transport links including Basildon railway station for commuting into London Fenchurch Street. This property not only serves as an immediate residence but also as a valuable investment with significant renovation potential.
